Republican says Hillary Clinton could shoot a random person ‘in the heart’ and get away with it, and claims Putin links meaningful only if US gets a good deal

Donald Trump made a half-hearted attempt to distance himself from Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, on Friday night at a rally in Florida, but aimed inflammatory comments at Iran and his political opponent Hillary Clinton.

He said Clinton could select someone in the Pensacola bay center, shoot him or her in the heart, and get away without prosecution. “She’s trigger happy,” he said. “I think she’s an unstable person.”

“She could walk into this arena right now and shoot somebody, with 20,000 people watching, right smack in the heart and still not be prosecuted,” he said.
